C++ links I found useful
Books:
- My favorite C++ reference (you can order it from Barnes & Noble) is
"The C++ Programmer's Handbook" by Paul J. Lucas, Prentice Hall,
only 130 pages, no "padding".
- Ellis, Stroustrup, "The Annotated C++ Reference".
The easiest way to understand C++ is to understand how
its compiler is implemented. Indeed, C++ is not a product of theory
(many programming language theorists hold that it's ugly at
best, a disaster at worst), but that of practice. This book
describes "reference implementation" of virtual functions,
multiple inheritance etc, and clarifies various hairy details.
